Instructions

1. Measure and cut a piece of canvas in a large rectangle. When measuring and cutting, keep in mind seam allowance (approximately 1/2″ all around your banner and about 2″ at the top) when planning out your pendant size.

2. To turn a basic fabric rectangle into a tapered pendant, fold the rectangle in half length wise and cut a diagonal line towards the bottom of the rectangle to create an upside down house shape.

3. Plug in your iron and let sit. Start at the bottom of the pendant and fold the edges towards the back of the pendant. Cut a piece of fabric fuse and place in the seam.

4. Iron the seam to allow the fabric fuse to melt and adhere the canvas against itself in the seam. Iron for a minute or two to seal. Continue doing this along both sides of the pendant until all the sides have been hemmed. Leave the top open.
